A bountiful garden in a bowl

out from soft, sticky rice

like the pristine soil of heaven

grows a bumper crop of vegetables in an euphoric array of colors and textures:

orange carrots, green broccoli, red peppers, white bok choy and pale purple onions

by turns soft, firm, and crunchy.

Watered generously,

as any garden should be,

with a soaking of sweet and spicy sauce,

the garden blooms in the bowl

too delicious to leave any scrap behind.
